Playing catch-up

Evan has been into making funny faces for the camera lately. This is one of many.

Emma making "Serious Face"

Silly face

Christmas Eve at Grandma Nancy's!

Emma with her cousins - 3 beautiful girls!

And then there are the boys....

This picture is fuzzy, but it captured the color of Emma's pretty dress

Having fun watching Uncle Mike blow up the big snow globe in the yard

Selfie with my favorite girl!!

Evan's party hat

Popping crackers! I love the concentration.

Present-opening craziness

The boys playing with their Transformers

Cousin Julia showing Emma how to use her new piano

Pajama time!

Christmas Morning!

We kept having strings of lights go out. I don't think our tree was fully lit at all this year. But no one cares when there are PRESENTS!

Evan was very excited to get a submarine set from Ian!

And a slime-making set from Jessie!

Playing Evan's new Hungry Hungry Hippo game

This toy was in one of the stockings. You blow into the tube and the ball floats in the air. Emma was very excited to finally get a turn with it!

My guess is this photo was preceded by " Emma do it! EMMA DO IT!!"

Emma's birthday!! She had Grandma Jane and Grandma Nancy over to visit at the same time. What a treat!

Bracelets from Ian! Woohoo!

And a sticker book from Jess! Very cool!

Mmmm...cake. Emma doesn't need a fork...or a plate...or even her own slice of cake.

When Emma woke up from her nap, she had a new play kitchen! A special present from Grandma Nancy!

Visit to Great-Grandma's house

Great-Aunt Joan, Great-Grandma, and Grandma! So much fun for Evan and Emma!

Some day we'll teach Emma that she can use a fork to eat cake.

It's not easy to match the frosting flung all over your face to your outfit. Well done Emma!
